Does anyone have a M75 neck for sale by chance?

Aristocrat hollow body

What year? That name and model number was used over several decades. Are you talking about a new one ( probably mortise and tenon) or an American one (probably a dovetail of hollow).

And DeArmond also had a few M-75s.

Yes on the "dovetail, hollow"

Can't help you without more data.

I don't think I've ever seen a vintage M-75 Aristocrat neck for sale, independent of the exact year.

best you can do here is tell us the year, as some of them are mounted at the 18th fret, some at the 16th, with varying body depths, and varying features as far as the neck and headstock. Then maybe someone here can figure out if a donor import M-75 neck of current production would work (and there are 2-3 versions at least, of the recent/current M-75's as well). Not too likley to find a spare vintage M-75 neck from any era. probably need a donor guitar, one way or another.

I will try to date the body and the last time we ran them at Guild.... But, Willie had them stored in the attic at Guild, but no necks. So, the bodies had to be made in late 70"s or early 80"s not sure. I will take some pics and submit to you guys and maybe find an answer... I appreciate the help.

late 70's early 80's would not seem to line up with "Aristocrat Hollow Body," so you may have something considerably older. A photo would help.

Great that you worked at Guild in Westerly! What other gems or stories do you have? Welcome to LTG. You may have some old buddies (or enemies ha) here on the forum.
